The 19 were part of a group of irate students who were demanding accountability from the president of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC), Mr Gordon Appiah, whom they accused of embezzling GH¢200,000 from the SRC’s coffers.

Nineteen students of the Sunyani Polytechnic who were arrested for allegedly extending their misconduct to the premises of the regional police headquarters last Monday have been granted police enquiry bail.

According to the police, the students were arrested for their misconduct.

“The Police went to the school and saw that two of the outgoing executives were under attack and so they were rescued and taken to the headquarters.“But this students came in pairs and unlawfully assembled at the main gate of the Police headquarters and started pelting stones at the headquarters and then they left there to the school and started destroying things, so we went in and arrested them,” the Brong regional Police PRO, ASP Christopher Tawiah told Starr News.
